We love our church

For living in such a small town, we are so blessed that we found such an amazing church. This Christmas, we will have called it home for three years. The nursery is the first place we trusted anyone to watch our kids. And over the last three years they have showed us such love as our kids have slowly outgrown their attachment anxiety and now look forward to visiting their classes.
Alora and Elijah had fun this Sunday at their Christmas party.

Elijah helps decorate the tree.
Steve and I help out in the busy bee class (2 1/2 to preschool age) once a month. Elijah and Alora are both in the class. Despite the chaos, Steve and I actually have a lot of fun.
It has been a real encouragment to us in many ways too, to see kids the same as our kids age that are going through all the same trials that our kids are (attachment anxiety, struggles with listening/sharing, shyness, potty accidents etc). Maybe we shouldn't be so hard on ourselves and our kids......
